Abstract: The present invention provides a gaming device which enables a player to enter a tournament based on a qualifying outcome achieved on the gaming device. In one embodiment, the gaming device includes a set of reels including at least one qualification symbol. If at least one qualification symbol is displayed within a display device of the gaming device, the player qualifies for a tournament to be played at a later time. The tournament is preferably a slot machine tournament. One or more prizes are awarded at the tournament, including high value items such as cars and motorcycles as well as lower valued items such as hats, T-shirts, jackets, memorabilia and other merchandise. In this regard, the tournament provides convenience to a casino as far as prize acquisition, distribution and record keeping are concerned because prizes are awarded at one specific event instead of on sporadic occasions. The payout percentages of the gaming devices providing entry into the tournament are set relative to a cost of the tournament.

Inventor: ZUKERMAN HAROLD W
IPC: A23L1/164
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: The present invention teaches how to make high moisture shaped cereal foods from cereal flour and fluid-milk and/or water; said cereal foods having a higher than 40% moisture content, a thin surface skin, and a soft, smooth, homogenous interior texture. The shaped cereal and milk foods of the present invention taste similar to the traditional cereal and milk that have always been consumed from a bowl with a spoon while also having the added benefit of being able to be eaten hand-held, on-the-go. The process of the present invention can also be used to make high moisture rice fries from rice flour and water. Having a higher than 40% moisture content is important because it provides the moisture and lubricity that both fat-fried and oven-baked rice fries products need. In the process of the present invention, cereal grains from one cereal genera or mixtures of different cereal genera are milled into a cereal flour. Fluid-milk and/or water is then infused into the starch granules of the cereal flour at temperatures above 170 F inside a cooker until the fluid-infused cereal flour thickens into a viscous, smooth and homogenous consistency. Additional food ingredients that impart flavor, color, water-binding and freeze-thaw stability properties to the finished product can also be infused into the cereal flour. Outside the cooker and with the retained heat and fluid from the cooking step, the starch granules of the fluid-infused cereal flour continue to both absorb some of the retained fluid and increase to a viscosity that is thick and firm enough to maintain a formed shape. Said fluid-infused cereal flour is then formed into shaped units with low-shear forming systems or cut into individual units with cutters. The individual units are spaced apart in a mono-layer before they are conveyed into either a continuous fat-fryer or oven which further heat the units thereby fully gelatinizing the starch granules of the fluid-infused cereal flour and developing a thin surface skin while retaining a higher than 40% moisture level and a soft, smooth, homogenous interior texture.

Abstract: The invention relates to a prosthetic mitral heart valve consisting of a support housing (10) comprising a base ring (15) supporting two posts which point essentially in the direction of the ring axis and which are connected by arc-shaped walls (13, 14), these walls being used to fix two flexible leaflets. The free ends of said posts form an inner support for the leaflet.  The base ring, as seen from above, has a closed, noncircular shape with a common longitudinal axis but two different-sized semi lateral axes. The posts lie on the longitudinal axis and form the transitional point from one half of the shape to the other. The invention provides that in order to avoid undercuts which can contribute to turbulence, the plane in which the connection line (17) between the tips of the posts (18, 19) and the common longitudinal axis of the post base ring shape lie is tilted at an angle (.alpha.) of 10~ to 20~, preferably 15~, in relation to the plane that leads through the common longitudinal axis and lies vertically in relation to the surface (21) formed by the base ring; and the wall with the greater curvature supports the leaflet with the smaller surface (the mural leaflet), positioned at a greater angle to the surface formed by the base ring compared to the wall with the greater curvature.

Filed: 2003-04-15
Abstract: A plunger lift for a hydrocarbon well includes a multipart piston that is dropped into the well in separate pieces. When the pieces reach the bottom of the well, they fall into an accumulation of the formation liquid in the bottom of the well and unite. Gas from the formation pushes the unit upwardly, pushing liquid above the piston toward the surface. The multipart piston includes a upper sleeve and a lower component. A decoupler at the surface comprises a separator rod which the sleeve passes onto thereby dislodging the lower component and allowing it to fall into the well. The sleeve is held on the separator rod by the action of well contents flowing around and/or through the sleeve. When well flow around the sleeve is interrupted, the sleeve falls into the well. The length of time the sleeve is held at the surface is varied in response to the amount of liquid produced on each cycle.

Abstract: The methods and apparatus for heating a catalyst bed (410) for start-up and for providing heat to a catalyst bed (410) during transient operation to maintain desired reaction temperatures. An electrical heating element (400) may directly or indirectly heat the catalyst. The direct heating of catalyst is achieved by having direct contact of the heater element (400) with the catalyst. Indirect heating is achieved by direct heating of a fluid, such as a process flow, which in turn flows through the catalyst, thereby transferring heat to the catalyst. Additionally, indirect heating may be achieved by placing the heating element (400) within a sheath that is then either in direct contact with the catalyst or fluid that flows through the catalyst. By these means, catalyst of many forms may employ this catalyst heater (400), including pellets, extrudates, spheres, and monoliths. The catalyst heater (400) in accordance with this invention can be made of any resistive wire, cartridges, or rods that may be coupled to a power source to provide the energy to produce the heat.
